Chapter 54: Underworld Demonic Spear · Corpse Forest

The Three Absolute Evil Venerable was cold-blooded, suspicious, and jealous by nature.

Although he had nominally taken in three Disciples back then, just as Bai Xuewei had said, he wasn’t taking Disciples so much as raising three dogs.

Therefore, when he initially devised the plan to risk his life to fuse with the Divine Magical Weapon, he never trusted those three Disciples of his.

In truth, a single Disciple would have been enough to establish the Demon Sealing Valley.

It was precisely because the Three Absolute Evil Venerable did not trust anyone that he took in three Disciples to help him complete this plan.

With three monks, there is no water to drink; the Divine Magical Weapon was right before them, but there could only be one Weapon Master.

Thus, no matter how things developed, it was impossible for these three families to join forces; they could only keep each other in check.

Who would have thought that in this generation, a woman like Bai Xuewei would emerge, using her charm to win over Zhao Xuan Xin and Xie Tianyun, even making these two men willingly work for her so she could become the Weapon Master.

“Wicked Disciples! With your ant-like cultivation, you dare to act presumptuously? How can you be qualified to lay hands on the Divine Magical Weapon? Do you even deserve to touch it?”

The Three Absolute Evil Venerable roared, his hands suddenly waving, and the surrounding pitch-black, hideous trees turned into spikes, attacking the trio.

His Physical Body was now decayed and his Divine Soul had mutated; without Meridians or True Qi, his martial arts cultivation was completely gone, and he naturally could not use the techniques of a Martial Artist.

However, he had fused his body with the Divine Magical Weapon. Although he hadn’t fully integrated with it over the millennium, he was still tainted by its aura and could mobilize a small portion of its power.

“Activate the Formation!”

Bai Xuewei shouted softly, her hands forming a Hand Seal.

At the same time, Zhao Xuan Xin and Xie Tianyun also formed Hand Seals, triggering the Formation within the Demon Sealing Valley.

In the mist above the Demon Sealing Valley, pillars of gray light plunged down like giant crossbow bolts, shattering the black wooden spikes.

But the trio’s activation of the Formation’s power brought misery to Wei Guangming and the others.

They were already struggling to hold on, and as the Formation activated, the suction suddenly intensified, turning another dozen people into dried corpses.

Seeing Chen Yuan and Thirteen Lang Luo unharmed, the crowd was instantly filled with regret.

Previously, they had felt these two were cowardly and lacked vision, not even daring to take a gamble when a Cultivation Technique was right in front of them.

Now it seemed that they were the truly cautious ones with foresight.

At this moment, some began to plead with Chen Yuan and Thirteen Lang Luo to save them, even offering various promises.

Wei Guangming and Old Daoist Qi, however, did not speak.

These two had already formed a blood feud with Chen Yuan; if they spoke, Chen Yuan would certainly not agree, and they would only make fools of themselves.

Chen Yuan turned a deaf ear, focusing solely on the fierce battle between the Three Absolute Evil Venerable and the trio.

They were all adults and had to be responsible for their own choices; Chen Yuan was not inclined to clean up their mess.

Seeing no movement from Chen Yuan, Thirteen Lang Luo also showed no reaction.

He hadn’t forgotten the way these fellows had looked at him before.

Seeing that these two were unwilling to help, the group began to curse them venomously.

Just as Thirteen Lang Luo was about to shout back, Chen Yuan stopped him.

“Brother Luo, why waste your breath on them? They are just a group of dying people.”

Chen Yuan said in a low voice, “Brother Luo, whether the Three Demon Clans win or the Three Absolute Evil Venerable wins, we are going to be silenced. Do you dare to gamble with me and seek victory amidst danger?”

“In this situation, what is there to fear?”

“Good! If I’m not mistaken, Brother Luo, you should have the Divine Artifact Avatar of the Divine Weapon ‘Karmic Flame Heaven Incinerator’ that Zhi Shilang gave you as a trump card!”

Thirteen Lang Luo looked at Chen Yuan in shock.

How did Brother Chen know about this?

The leader of the Sun Exchange Alliance, Zhi Shilang, was also a Weapon Master who wielded a divine spear called ‘Karmic Flame Heaven Incinerator’.

However, the consumption required to use the Karmic Flame Heaven Incinerator was exceptionally massive, so Zhi Shilang had almost never used it openly.

Even within the Sun Exchange Alliance, only a few people knew about it.

And the Divine Artifact Avatar of the Karmic Flame Heaven Incinerator was even harder to produce. As the foster son of Zhi Shilang, Thirteen Lang Luo was qualified to possess one as a trump card.

Thirteen Lang Luo hesitated for a moment but nodded. “Brother Chen, this Divine Weapon is my foster father’s trump card. If the Imperial Court finds out, they will surely take strict precautions. Please do not spread the word.”

“Don’t worry, Brother Luo, I’m not the talkative type. Moreover, I only learned this news by accident; no one else in the Jianghu knows.”

Thirteen Lang Luo nodded; he trusted Chen Yuan.

Brother Chen had taken quite good care of him along the way. If Brother Chen wanted to harm him, with his intellect, he would have been tricked to death a hundred times already. Perhaps he would be in the same state as Wei Guangming and the others right now.

Thirteen Lang Luo solemnly took out a simple small wooden stick from his robes.

The small wooden stick was only the size of a palm, entirely crimson, and shaped like a spear.

But its craftsmanship was incredibly crude, looking like a toy a child had haphazardly carved, even appearing crooked.

“Brother Luo, get ready. When I say to strike, put all your strength into it and use the Divine Artifact Avatar to attack the end of the path on the left.”

Chen Yuan looked toward the left, which was exactly where the Three Absolute Evil Venerable had wanted everyone to go before, now enveloped in Devilish Qi.

The Three Absolute Evil Venerable’s words were seventy percent true and thirty percent false.

The right side was indeed a Formation, but it was one that absorbed True Qi and blood essence.

The left side being the main body of the demonic creature was also correct; that was where the Divine Magical Weapon itself was located.

By now, the battle between the Three Absolute Evil Venerable and the trio had become incredibly intense, nearing the moment of life and death.

All three of Bai Xuewei’s group practiced the Cultivation Techniques of the Three Absolute Evil Venerable.

Xie Tianyun practiced a Demonic Sect technique, his Demonic Saber exuding an extraordinary, overbearing aura.

Zhao Xuan Xin practiced a Buddhist Sect technique, his entire body glowing with golden light and his Physical Body being incredibly tough.

Bai Xuewei practiced a Daoist Sect technique, with a deep foundation and an agile, ethereal style.

Although the three of them were not weak when working together, their techniques were, after all, a Legacy from the Three Absolute Evil Venerable.

Even if the Three Absolute Evil Venerable himself could not use these techniques now, he understood them perfectly and knew their critical points.

Thus, the clash between the two sides was currently at a strange point of equilibrium.

However, as Bai Xuewei and the others continuously used the Formation’s power to attack, the Three Absolute Evil Venerable was beginning to struggle.

He was already unable to completely suppress the Divine Magical Weapon, and now that he had to use a portion of its power, the weapon became increasingly restless.

At that moment, Chen Yuan suddenly shouted, “Move!”

As his voice fell, Chen Yuan directly drew the killing intent origin into his body, and the blood and Qi within him burned frantically, regardless of the cost.

A surging, blood-red malevolence gathered around Chen Yuan, turning into a massive blood-colored Hand Seal that blasted toward the left.

In an instant, the Blood Fiend filled the sky, and calamity descended!

Blood Slaughter Calamity Hand!

This all-out strike from Chen Yuan almost instantly exhausted the True Qi in his body and burned a massive amount of his blood and Qi.

Such a high consumption was the only way to bring out thirty percent of the essence of this ultimate palm technique that contained the killing intent origin.

On the other side, Thirteen Lang Luo also sliced open his palm, and a large amount of True Qi and blood and Qi were instantly absorbed by the Divine Artifact Avatar of the Karmic Flame Heaven Incinerator.

In the next moment, the originally crude and ridiculous small wooden spear burst forth with an unparalleled, scorching radiance.

As Thirteen Lang Luo thrust the small wooden spear forward, it was like a Flaming Dragon ascending, its roar carrying a heaven-incinerating momentum as it blasted toward the location of the Divine Magical Weapon.

Chen Yuan’s power came from the seven killing stele, which contained a trace of the killing intent origin power.

Thirteen Lang Luo’s power came from the Divine Weapon, Karmic Flame Heaven Incinerator, and was equally peerless and powerful.

Before, when Chen Yuan hadn’t accounted for Thirteen Lang Luo, his confidence was eighty percent.

Now, with the help of Thirteen Lang Luo’s Divine Artifact Avatar, these two forces combined gave Chen Yuan nearly a hundred percent certainty of overturning the current situation.

However, although these two forces were powerful, it was impossible for them to kill both the Three Absolute Evil Venerable and the trio simultaneously. After the strike, there would surely be survivors, and by then, his Internal Energy would be exhausted and his blood and Qi depleted, leaving him to wait for death.

Therefore, Chen Yuan’s target from the very beginning was the Divine Magical Weapon itself.

He didn’t want to seize the Divine Magical Weapon; he wanted to rely on it to break the deadlock!

Bai Xuewei and the Three Absolute Evil Venerable, still in the midst of their fierce battle, sensed this power, and their expressions changed abruptly.

“Damn it! Stop!”

“Vile beast! How dare you!”

Both sides roared in anger.

The Three Absolute Evil Venerable had sacrificed his life and a thousand years of time to seize the Divine Magical Weapon.

Bai Xuewei and the others were also risking everything, not only to escape the Venerable’s control but also to obtain the Divine Magical Weapon.

None of them wanted anything to happen to the Divine Magical Weapon, so they stopped immediately to intervene, but it was already too late.

The power of the Blood Slaughter Calamity Hand and the Karmic Flame Heaven Incinerator tore through the black forest like dry weeds and shattered the Formation.

In the next moment, a world-shaking, powerful Devilish Qi surged out, tearing apart all the surrounding Formations!

Wei Guangming and the others were still in the center of the Formation; the group was instantly sent flying by the impact of the Formation’s explosion, and those with weaker physical bodies were even blown into fragments!

The surrounding black forest rapidly contracted, pouring into that billowing Devilish Qi.

In the next moment, a black long spear emerged from the Devilish Qi.

The black long spear looked as if it were made from two twisted bones, covered in blackish-red fleshy tissue that resembled hideous, knotted blood vessels.

At the head of the spear, five hideous finger bones were twisted and coiled together to form the tip, appearing incredibly sinister.

Underworld Demonic Spear · Corpse Forest!

In the original plot, this spear had never been subdued by anyone up until the time Chen Yuan transmigrated, and every time it appeared, it was accompanied by a storm of blood.

Back in Lianshan City, Chen Yuan was confident in seizing the seven killing stele because it was only a fragment, not a complete Divine Artifact.

Secondly, it was because he knew the method, and there were precedents of the seven killing stele being seized by others.

But Corpse Forest was different; this demonic spear had an extremely bizarre temperament, and the Three Absolute Evil Venerable had spent over a thousand years without being able to subdue it.

At this moment, a black light flashed on the Corpse Forest, and it suddenly vanished from its spot.

The Three Absolute Evil Venerable suddenly let out a muffled groan, looking at his chest in disbelief.

The black demonic spear had pierced through his chest at some unknown moment, the knotted blackish-red blood vessels on its shaft twisting as they continuously drained the Venerable’s power.

This power should have belonged to it in the first place, but under the suppression of the Formation, some of it had been taken by the Three Absolute Evil Venerable.

Divine Magical Weapons possess their own spirituality.

Having been suppressed for a thousand years and forcibly controlled, the one the Corpse Forest hated most was the Three Absolute Evil Venerable. Now that it had broken through the seal, the first person it wanted to kill was him.

The Three Absolute Evil Venerable’s body trembled uncontrollably, his face aging rapidly, and finally, with eyes full of resentment, he turned into fly ash before everyone.
